About the talk in brief

- Occasion: Kick-off, company event, seminar or annual meeting
- Where: Across Denmark and abroad

Every beginning is hard. That’s why it’s especially important to be conscious of where your focus goes. If we expect a start full of problems, we’ll automatically go looking for them. We get good at spotting them — and maybe end up with more of them.
If we instead choose to focus on a positive start, we also notice what we’re good at. That motivates us, creates joy and gives energy. In short: we create a positive spiral.
Unleash the energy
In the same way, on your way to work you can choose whether it becomes a good day full of joy and challenges, or whether the day’s duties get seen as routine and dull. If you decide to influence yourself positively through positive focus — and see work as a sport where you’re training for the big championship — you radically change your attitude, behaviour and energy level.
Start the day by unleashing the energy, and you’re guaranteed your company event pays off even more.
What you take away
Every beginning is hard, they say. This one is fun. And the energy is yours to carry into the rest of the programme.
- Hammer and nails: why your focus decides what you notice.
- A positive start as a deliberate choice. An eye for what you’re good at.
- Work seen as a sport, where you’re training for the big championship.
- Anecdotes with a twinkle in the eye, tools in the same breath.
- The steps up to a high-performing team. Humorous, active and out of your seats, so everyone’s on board.
If all you have is a hammer,
everything looks like a nail
